I think your non-metallics look good, could use a little more highlight. The trick with NMM is to create pretty stark contrast, you need just a little more to make it pop.

I like your corsair more than your sister. I don't really like the fig you chose for the sister - she's more like a wingless harpy or something. And as others have said, not sold on the color scheme, but they're your figs, not ours. If that's what you want your minis to look like, go for it. You're the one who has to paint a few hundred of them.

Glad people like the red highlighted up to pink. I think it is a lot better too, and it helps give the contrast the red offered while having the advantages of the pink.

I am going with blue marble basing, on the assumption my display board will be some sort of altar, or at least have a marble surface. If you have some suggestions on where to take that, I'm definitely up for it. Looking to make an impressive display board... albeit one that won't need its own cart to move around. I want to be able to transport it in my Cobalt. Though using magnets to secure extra details that could then be safely stored in a protected box/foam is doable.

I wasn't so happy with the pink. While I can paint it well, it just looked off. Plus I was losing interest in the Cult of Slaanesh, as I really like the Corsairs and sturdier elites (Black Guard and Executioners).

So I decided to ditch the theme.

I've always wanted a blue and green army. Tested it on some corsairs, and I was sold. Purple remains kind of as a secondary color to break things up a bit. With my love of the Corsairs and how their cloaks looked, and after reading the Khaine book, I began to really like Mathlann. So I'm going with that theme. A raiding force that heavily honors Mathlann.

That ran into another problem. They blended in with the bases. I may reuse the theme if I ever do Slaanesh or Tzeentch stuff (I've always been a fan of Nurgle since 2006). So I had to change the bases to keep my color scheme. So I opted to do bases that look like wooden planks, which may help sell the theme of their being devoted to Mathlann god of the sea.

Yes, the rank and file have blue helms with purple plumes while the champion has his hair died blue (but no helm).Also giving them a scale look on the back of their cloaks. I will probably paint and shields in this way too.
